Yes, they do live in the same building. And we have seen multiple times that Pintsize, Winslow and little Momo are quite capable of getting around to visit each other.

And one strip where Winslow had opened the door to Pintsize. (can't find said strip)
pwhodges:
Winslow lives on the floor above Pintsize in the same building; Momo lives elseswhere
TheCollector:
Y'know, I thought I noticed this the first comic to feature her new chassis, but now I'm seeing it again here, it seems that theses Chassis' hair color dulls when they're offline.
Just look at that first comic, starts off dull then turns vibrant pink. Now in this the old chassis' hair is dull when it used to be vibrant.
jwhouk:
That sample just appears to be so much of a Chekov's gun - or it's just a brick joke that Jeph's setting us up for.

* mention of iambic pentameters
* Tai's reply is an iambic pentameter (yes, I've only just noticed!)
* reference to library filing system invented by Dewey Unless I've missed the point as well :~)

I think Tai's Dewey Decimal line is also an iambic pentameter, but I am very wobbly on English/Western poetical forms.
--- Quote from: gangler on 07 Sep 2011, 09:42 ---Marten's question also almost manages to be a Haiku. I keep looking trying to figure out if it's supposed to be the third joke or not. I'm not good at the whole poetry thing so I'm not sure whether it actually is a haiku and I just don't know what rule allows that syllable to be in the second line instead of the third or what's going on.
--- End quote ---
Haiku in English are very loose. While the three-line form is still typical (In Japanese, haiku are normally written as a single line. The three-line thing is a Western convention), the 5-7-5 "rule" was never universal, and syllable counts anywhere from 10-17 seem to be regarded as acceptable.
Do AnthroPCs gradually adopt their owner's quirks? Winslow seems to have adopted his owner's habit of taking surreptitious samples.
